On Thursday, March 8, 2018, in the midst of a snow storm, over 300 community leaders, donors and sponsors joined us for “A Night in Casablanca,” at the Infinity Convention Centre. Guests were entertained by the smooth sounds of Big Band Ottawa, the Steinway Spirio piano, and enchanted by belly dancers, bringing Rick’s Café in Morocco to life.

Thank you for supporting the residents at St. Patrick’s Home and helping to raise $95,000 for Music and Palliative Care programs. St. Patrick’s Home could not do what it does without the generous support of our caring community, including people like you. Thank you for a wonderful night and for your commitment to St. Patrick’s Home and our residents.

St. Patrick’s Home Foundation 5th Annual Soirée

“A Night in Casablanca”

St. Patrick’s Home Foundation invites you to join us for our 5th Annual Soirée: “A Night in Casablanca”. The setting is at Rick’s Café, which was featured in the movie Casablanca. Feast on a delicious gourmet dinner, bid for exotic treasures in silent and live auctions, and enjoy a line-up of exciting entertainment that Rick has gathered just for you. Moroccan or 1940s attire is encouraged.

All funds raised from ”A Night in Casablanca”, the St. Patrick’s Home Foundation’s 5th Annual Soirée, will support the development and implementation of our enhanced Palliative Care program.

Palliative care recognizes that our residents are real people with complex health conditions, people with individual care preferences and people with varying social support, financial well-being, and healthcare access.

Our goal is to provide compassionate palliative care to residents who are experiencing life-threatening illnesses, within an environment that is person-centered and fosters clinical excellence hand-in-hand with spiritual comfort.

]]>St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa Foundation is proud to have been selected as a recipient of the LCBO’s Local Donation Box Program, from December 31st, 2017 until January 27th, 2018.

Funds raised through the LCBO’s Donation Box Program will be used to increase the number of residents participating in the Music and Memory program by purchasing additional listening devices and boosting playlists, increasing the number of in-house “music concerts” being held, and the number of one-on-one music therapy sessions offered to individual residents. All of these activities are extremely beneficial in improving residents’ wellness and quality of life, especially those living with dementia and mental health issues.

“We are grateful to have the opportunity to connect with supporters through the LCBO’s Donation Box Program. The funds raised through this initiative will have a big impact on our seniors, and our Music Therapy Program specifically,” said Ruth Catana, Executive Director of St. Patrick’s Home Foundation.

We enjoyed a lively performance from the Ottawa Police Chorus, followed by refreshments in Paddy’s Place.

We are grateful to volunteers from TD, who came by the Home to help us put up and decorate our Christmas trees in the lobby and the Gathering Place.

Christmas Trees in the Larry Kelly Family Garden

You may have noticed that there are Christmas trees lit up in the courtyard. These trees were generously donated by Laird’s Tree Farm in Osgoode, delivered by Swift Delivery Systems and put up by our maintenance team.

We would like to extend a special thank you to all of these community partners for bringing Christmas cheer to our Home.

Introducing our 2018 Lottery Ambassadors: Patricia, Lionel and Cathy

As you can imagine, coming into a long-term care home is a difficult and emotional time for residents, families and loved ones. Residents like Patricia, Lionel and Cathy (pictured above) all came to St. Pat’s unsure of what to expect. Yet all three are quick to share how much they deeply appreciate the kind and compassionate care offered by our staff and volunteers. You provide that feeling of comfort and compassion that makes our house feel like a Home. Thank you!
